Question

I have made project with laravel 5.5 and when upload it to my website (free host)

I have this error

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

(1/1) RuntimeException The only supported ciphers are AES-128-CBC and AES-256-CBC with the correct key lengths

I edited theses files

.env
index.php
config/app.php
config/database.php

and before i upload it i run this command

php artisan key:generate

after all of this still not working

Answer 1

problem solved with the following steps:-

edit config/app.php

change

'key' => env('APP_KEY'),

to
'key' => env('APP_KEY','mykey'),

mykey = key in .env file
